Reported by:	Virgin Timber Resort
Date of Report:	March 14, 2009
Trail Conditions:	Poor
Snow Cover:	8 inches
Area Report:	Took a ride up to LLL last night 5N to Red Deer and then 3 to 21 back to Moose Lake. There are a lot of bare spots, rocks and of course not enough snow to groom. They call them snowmobiles for a reason. Temps are supposed to be ~50 Saturday & Sunday. That should take care of it. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Trail Conditions:	No Snow
Snow Cover:	0 inches
Area Report:	The snowmobiling for the year has pretty much come to an end unless we get a big storm yet? It was a great year for Sawyer County and hope everyone makes plans to come back next year! Now we enter the confusing ATV season. First, you can go to the official Sawyer County Snowmobile and ATV map put out by the Sawyer County Alliance on line by just clicking on this Hayward Insert and you’ll see the full map. A few highlights of the map and to try and summarize: Trails on Federal land in light green areas are closed March 15th to May 1st, trails in the Birchwood area except for the Tuscobia closed on March 15th, Tuscobia Trail #10 does not close in the spring, Trail #11 off of the Tuscobia does not close, Trail #30 from the LCO Casino down to the Tuscobia does not close, trails that are in the Nelson Lake area that are on the roads are open, Trail #63 along the rail road grade north of Phipps is open, all the trails in Seeley Hills that are on town roads such as 77 is open. The only unknown trails are the trails that are not on fire roads/town roads in the dark green area in the Seeley Hills (which is Sawyer County land). The latest is that they will be closed in the spring from April 1st to May 15th unless the Forester decides to shorten it. Hopefully he’ll shorten it to May 1st which is when the Federal trails and Bayfield County open their trails?

Almost every snowmobiler in the Midwest is aware of the fantastic winter playground found near the Hayward area of Sawyer County and the Cable area of Southern Bayfield County. Hundreds of miles of wilderness trails provide tours through this area’s natural beauty, beckoning riders to return year after year.

The Hayward Lakes region with its rolling hills, hardwood forests, tall pine stands and pristine lakes serves as the hub of the Sawyer County trail system. A journey south from Hayward on Trail 31 takes riders across the frozen Lac Court Oreilles and along Sand Lake before joining the Tuscobia State Trail just east of Birchwood.

This well-known Tuscobia State Trail is also listed as Corridor 10 on the maps. It crosses Sawyer County from east to west passing through Draper, Loretta, Winter and Radisson, as it makes its journey across northern Wisconsin stretching from Michigan to Minnesota.

Traveling southeast from Hayward, snowmobilers are treated to a tour of the undeveloped Lake Chippewa Flowage, Wisconsin’s largest wilderness lake. This focal point of Sawyer County was created in 1923 by a power company dam and has more than 17,000 acres of water with 140 islands and more than 200 miles of natural shoreline.

Trails east of Hayward meander their way towards Clam Lake. Along the way a favorite place to take a break is at the Ghost Hill Scenic Overlook located on a short spur trail off Trail 21 north of Ghost Lake. Don’t forget your camera to take those memorable trip photos.

Trails lead in all directions in this scenic Chequamegon National Forest region offering unlimited choices. When staying in this area, snowmobiles are the only transportation you will need since almost everything is accessible via snowmobile. Excellent lodging with roaring fireplaces and great food can be found trailside through out this region.
